Lyrics - Swim

Sweet 16 / Stereo World / W.I.T / Descend / Shade / Swim

Sweet 16

Sweet 16
Sweet 16, sweet 16,

Get away from me is all she said
You're like a social disease
I'm so tired of being afraid of you
I better stop twisting his ears

Save yourself, look and see (Don't you touch me)
Think about it, sweet 16
You could be anywhere (Jesus help me)
See yourself standing there
(Come on, come on, come on...)
She's not dead
She's not dead

He can't stop forcing himself on her
He likes the way that she is
His heart beats fingers all over her
His dirty breath smells of beer

Save yourself, look and see (Don't you touch me)
Think about it, sweet 16
You could be anywhere (Jesus help me)
See yourself standing there
(Come on, come on, come on...)
She's not dead
She's not dead, dead

Come a little closer to me
Come a little nearer, I won't

She works late so she can keep away
To scared to go to the police
So young, he's working her like a dog
He slapped her face so she'd clean

But one day while she was searching there
She came across a new toy
Her eyes filled as she loaded the weapon
Her mind races, she cries

Save yourself, look and see (Don't you touch me)
Think about it, sweet 16
You could be anywhere (Jesus help me)
See yourself standing there
Save yourself, look and see (Don't you touch me)
Think about it, sweet 16
She's not dead
She's not dead, dead

(Come on, come on, come on...)
She's not dead, dead
(Come on)

Stereo World

Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades
It's just that I can't see
When I'm down like this
I just feel the weight
As I try to resist

Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away, away

Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud
Levitated high I'm free
Turning myself around
Just as I feel fine
It begins to break
Now the pain is here
What a big mistake

Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away, away
Away

It just explodes as I drift in
A thousand hands caress my skin
I feel so free as it begins

Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away, away It really feels too good
Feels so good (Away, away)
Life in a stereo world (I'm in a, I'm in a, I'm in a)
(Feels too good)
Life in a stereo world
(Stereo world, stereo world)
Feels too good
Life in a stereo world
Stereo world, stereo world
Feels so good
I'm in a stereo world
A Stereo world, A stereo world...

W.I.T

She's looking good in the new towel
Looking clear in the new crowd
You're so funny to be with
So easy to forgive or love

See you, you see me
We could be free
I'll let you know
Women in towels

Take a look at the old suit
Hang around in the old school
She's looking good with her hair down
Me and her in the fairground (Just look around)

See you, you see me
We could be free
You've gotta live
So you could breathe
I wish you could
Just see yourself
No shame in pain
Women in towels

Life is worse...
It's not what you are, it's what you do
It's not what you are, it's what you do

See you, you see me
We could be free
You've gotta live
So you can breathe
I wish you could
Just see yourself
No shame in pain
Women in towels

Women in towels

Descend

Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)

I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
If I could be all by myself,
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep

I hate the way they are,
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head,
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard,
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive,
So abused the system lied
You lied

If I could be all by myself,
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
(alone, alone, alone, alone)

Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe, I stared
As my focus turned to haze,
I could see them

If I could be all by myself, I could be free
If they could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
Yeah (I know)
Yeah (I know)
(I know, I know)
Yeah (I know)
Yeah (I know)
(I know, I know)
Descend

Shade

Will it always be the same?
Give it all a reason
Put me down, you watch me drown
I cannot exceed
Holding out, I can't explain
Though I never could that's the problem
Further back the pain again
Climbing up to free myself

I don't need this, innovation comes (I don't need it)
(Do you really know? I will fall in)
I just fall into shade

All I want to do is pray
Give me back the freedom
It becomes the only way
Clear that sets me free
State of mind, I twist and turn
Looking at the same thing
Flicking back the pages
Just enough for me to see myself

I don't need this, innovation comes (I don't need it)
(Do you really know what you're seeing?)
I'm trying to believe this life drags on
(Do you really know? Do we see it?)
Do you see it, do we really know?
(Do you really know? I will fall in)
I will fall into space

It's funny now it seems that I can dream, a little
It's pulling me inside,the wheel still turns now
Remember how the sun touched my face
Seeing, and I looked away back home

I don't need this, innovation comes (I don't need it)
(Can you really know what you're seeing?)
I'm trying to believe this life drags on
(Do you really know? Do we see it?)
Do you see it, do we really know?
(Do they really know? I will fall in)
I will fall into shade
Do you really know...

Swim

Kill, kill or be killed for
Expected life to be so safe
Caught, caught in a mantrap
Another part of me has changed
Maybe, I could swim

Can't help myself
It's funny, but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way

Fill, fill with emotion
Sailing off the edge again
Drown, drown all devotion
Riding on a trip to hell
Maybe I could swim

Can't help myself
It's funny, but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Can't find my way
